A&D manufacturers and their suppliers now depend more than ever on global supply chains. As they reach across time zones, languages and cultures, supply chains have to work around challenges that build up costs and drag down production schedules. Communication between distributed engineering and production centers can be labored and error-prone. These problems are often compounded by repetitive programming, incomplete simulations, time-intensive production methods, and concern that the shop floor may not be working with current data. Ideally, global companies should be able to design products at any location and produce them at selected sites, with all stakeholders from design to the shop floor working concurrently from a single unique global data source.
Understand how manufacturing companies can deliver machined parts faster and increase revenue by reducing costs – despite operating globally across time zones and cultures.

This blind case study focuses on the operations division of a Fortune 500 company had significant challenges training its franchisees. They struggled with an 8 to 12 month backlog in providing training for their new franchisees coming on board. Anecdotally, when they did get around to training new people, the requirements and curriculum were outdated and in the process of being revised. Their franchisees and employees were never current on updated company policies and procedures. These franchises were spread all over the country, so it was costly to train their franchisees using traditional onsite training methods.
